So bringing it back to the Sabbath Day.
If you profess to keep the sabbath day as holy to the Lord.
And you break the sabbath even in ignorance,
then if one is under the law to keep it, they will be judges by the law if they break it.
There are those that believe are freed from the law. We are under no condemnation for not keeping it.
We won't be stoned or hanged or judged for not keeping a particular Sabbath Day.
However, with freedom comes responsibility. And if not keeping the particular day is the choice, then the obligation of worshipping God everyday is installed.
I find it is more responsibilty to serve God and keep his Sabbath daily, to walk in the Spirit always without leaning to the left or to the right,
a bigger challenge then choosing just one day to rest in Him and let him do his work through me, and not putting my hands to my own works.
My own works are selfish. They are focused on me. I want to go shopping, I want to go see a game, I want to watch tv, I want sleep all day.
God's works flow through us. They are focused on others. What can I do for you today. Which is everyday.
Therefore our own works have ended, we no longer want to serve ourselves as shown by harvesting 6 days a week.
But everyday we want to rest in the provisions God provides us with daily.
And the provisions God gives us is one of generosity and a willingness to serve others and not ourselves. Everyday.
Luk 6:38
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
This is a commandment of the Lord.
Jhn 14:15
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
There is a young man who comes to Jesus and says, I have kept all God's commandments. What must I do to be saved.
Jesus looked at him, loving him, said. Give.
Mar 10:21
Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
God gave man the Sabbath. He gave us rest. It is our job then, Christ working through us, to give rest to others.
Isa 58:5
Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul?
is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes
under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
Isa 58:6
Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
Isa 58:7
Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
Isa 58:8
Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.
Isa 58:9
Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I
am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
Isa 58:10
And
if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness
be as the noonday:
Isa 58:11
And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
Jhn 7:38
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
